Turn Barbie Dolls Into DOCTOR WHO’s Weeping Angels

Share:

I’ll never forget the feeling of horror I experienced when I met Doctor Who’s Weeping Angels. The aliens were first introduced in “Blink,” and I’d argue it’s one of the best episodes of television in any genre. While the scare factor of the Weeping Angels has become diluted due to overuse, they still have a creepy visage that comes across even when the Angels are actually Barbie dolls. I mean, Barbies were already scary enough, but this makeover takes it to another level.

After the dolls have received plastic surgery held in place by hot glue, they’re draped with rectangles of fabric that were tied into place. Then came the feathers and wings which appear to be the most time-consuming part of the project. Eventually the Barbies and their new wings were covered in primer and then granite texture spray paint. The result is spooky enough to give any Who fan the shivers.

The Barbie Weeping Angels would be fun to give away at your next Doctor Who-themed party (maybe for the Series 8 premiere?) or to make for a friend who loves all things tied to the Time Lord.

looks like the biggest supply we’ll need is PHOTOSHOP… .. . rest might fly, but that first header picture is ‘shopped to death. i’m a graphic designer & photo analyst/restorer and i’d know that ‘Add Noise’ filter when i see it… <FAIL>

Obviously you aren’t looking hard enough mate! That doesn’t look like add noise at all! I’d put money on it being textured paint. <FAIL at pointing out a FAIL!> Lulz.
